Melissa Rivers confirms split rumors

Melissa Rivers has announced she and live-in partner Jason Zimmerman are no longer together.

Rivers and Zimmerman have been together for the past three years, and the issues surrounding their split will be charted on the new season of Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?

"Unfortunately, after almost three years, Jason and I are no longer together," Rivers told E! News.

"I am still trying to process what has come to light over the past few days and I hope that you will respect the privacy of my son and I while we heal," she continued. "Luckily, we are 'Rivers' and always bounce back.

"Thanks to all my supportive fans, friends and co-workers for their love and support which is carrying us through."

Back in March, Joan Rivers confirmed that E! had renewed the series for a second season.
